• What's "alterhuman"?

◯⃤Alterhuman is an umbrella term including any identity that derives from the standard human experience. Yes! this includes human identities!

◯⃤Not all alterhuman people identify as non human, some alterhuman people are human.

◯⃤The alterhuman symbol is the alt key : ⎇

◯⃤The original coining can be found here

☾⋆⁺₊✧ " Alterhuman is a term that refers to someone who does not fit the traditional standard of what is considered human, and/or does not identify as human. " ☾⋆⁺₊✧

• Identities & other terms

A few identities under the alterhuman umbrella are, but are not limited to :

Constellic || Daemians & Daemons || Dragons || Endels || Furries || Fictionfolk || Nonhumans || Otherkin || Otherhearted || Otherlink || Otherflick || Phytanthrope || Synpath || Therians

Links to each term will be added progressively

Note that :

The term alterhuman is opt-in, many people can identify with one or more of these identities but chose to not associate themselves with the term alterhuman or any other umbrella term their chosen label can be found under]

These identities, even if some are etymologically similar to others, refer to groups and communities sourced/anchored/found in this(these) reality(universes).

☆━━━━━━☆━━━━━━☆━━━━━━☆

& Plurality is also often considered to be under the Alterhuman umbrella, although not all systems might identify as alterhuman solely because of their plurality, or identify as alterhuman at all. But due to the complexity of plurality, terms, analyses, and other resources concerning that community and identities, any further information will be sorted, stored and can be found in our partner blog : @plurality-resources &

[nyctohyloph0bia]

I felt a certain way about my identities and synpathy today. Mostly how they feel through my synesthesia, I tried putting it on a comprehensive artwork.

[This is how my identities feel, not how the labels themselves feel.]

Reminder not to stereotype kintypes.

Just because one is a fox does not mean they're as happy and playful as one.

Just because one is a rabbit does not mean they're a cute, cuddly, soft bunny.

Just because one is a bird does not mean they're sad to be earth-bound.

Just because one is a wolf does not mean they have "two sides/personalities" while shifting.

Just because one is a cat does not mean they are faking alterhumanity, or in their "Warrior Cat phase"

Just because one is a nonhuman does not mean that we do quads.

Just because one is a nonhuman does not mean we have gear.

Just because one is a nonhuman does not mean we are lean, strong, and Caucasian.

Just because one is a nonhuman does not mean we express our alterhumanity in eccentric ways.

Every nonhuman is valid as fuck. From the smallest mouse, to the largest whale, everything in between, you are valid.

[im-not-just-physical]

please have a minute of silence-

-for all the animals that are on the red list of endangered species, those that are considered extinct and those that are only a few living survivors away from extinction.

the least we can do for them is to pay tribute to them, think about how we can help them and try to do whatever we can to help our close animal friends, relatives, cousins, siblings and even the strangest animals we could never meet.

Spread awareness, respect mother nature and fight against those who are trying to destroy our world for the sake of property, money and terror.

shout-out to all our extinct comrades and those who are fighting to survive

[alterhuman-positivity]

People with alterhuman identities that aren't strictly nonhuman have just as much place in the community as anyone else. If you're entirely human, or human as well as nonhuman, or even aspecies or something more nuanced--you're important, you're valued, and you're still alterhuman.

Share your experiences more often, if you'd like. The tags might be mainly filled with posts about nonhumanity, but that doesn't mean that your identity should be kept quiet! Be proud of who you are, humanity and all included.

[that-dreaming-dragon]

A silly funsie thing of my very rough, loose interpretation of alterhuman identities (just a couple of them) in a limited 2D visual representation.

Really, alterhumanity is probably 5D+ motion madness. At the very least, I'd imagine that constel is going around like its namesake.

(Posted as requested by @paracosmic-gt :D) (that grammar was weird, ugh. I donno how to fix it)

Terms below cut.

Likeness - What's on the tin, whatever you "share a likeness with". archive.md/2023.10.30-142647/https://extranth.tumblr.com/post/680195890861998080/okay-so-this-is-my-coining-but-again-its-not

Simile - "A simile (in the context of alterhuman identity) is a character, animal, concept, or object, which reflects or otherwise represents who you are, without actually being a part of your identity. A simile may be described as a metaphor for who you are."

Vaguetype[1][2] - An alterhuman identity that may fall into multiple categories, or if one has uncertainty or simply prefers not to define what all goes into a single identity.

Archetropy - An identity in which one performs the role, the title, the trope, or the narrative space one occupies and embodies.

Cameo (Shift) - A shift not of one's 'type. otherkin.wiki/wiki/Shifting

'Flicker - A brief, temporary identity.

Hearthome - "A place, whether real or imagined, to which a being has a deep and meaningful emotional connection, considering it their 'home.' This connection is strong, even if the being has not been raised or spent a significant amount of time in that particular location."

web.archive.org/web/20240907223441/https://blog.alt-h.net/post/154524344385/heart-is-where-the-home-is

Mirrortype - "A reflection of the ideal self".

Paratype - "an identity facet that only exists in relation to a preestablished identity".

Kardiatype - A past life [in] which [your] experiences had such an impact on you that it [wholly or partly] formed your core identity and personality, even to this day, [but] … you [DON’T] identify as the being from your past life anymore.

Constelic - Individuals "that adopt an identity(s) throughout their lives. Constelic individuals can have any number of constelic identities, and the amount might fluctuate throughout their lifetime. They aren't typically there at birth, instead being found and adopted later in life, and they oftentimes aren't permanent, though they can last a very long time." web.archive.org/web/20230519124625/https://constelic.carrd.co/

Heartedness - Identifying with something instead of as. To fully understand what that abstractness entails, I highly recommend reading Part I of Poppy's Simile essay.

Synpath - Something you identify with on several levels, which could be a concept that resonates really strongly with you, an animal or mythological creature you feel you act like, or a person or character you share a lot of common behaviors with, among other things. This often is used in synonymous to heartedness, but many do use it differently than hearttype.

'Linked - A intentionally made connection towards an identity, and can be later dropped as needed or desired. Usually, people only link identify-as identities, but there are folks like me who go beyond and link all sorts of alterhuman identities on the spectrum. web.archive.org/web/20180325235532/http://victiim-of-changes.tumblr.com/post/170162038800/otherlinkers-are-not-kin-but-voluntary I'm also avoiding the usage of "voluntary" because that's a whole mess within the community. A linked identity is the connection that you intentionally bridged, that's it.

Kinity - In which one identifies as a nonhuman species or character. otherkin.wiki/wiki/Otherkin

Therianthropy - In which one identifies as an animal. Essentially the same as being otherkind or fictionkind, just of different focus. Just in case, therian does mean any species that has animality within.

This is yet another canon call blog. THIS BLOG ACCEPTS ALL SOURCES- obscure, problematic, popular, mediocre, etc.

This is a blog for kins, irls, fictives, copinglinks, introjects, etc. This blog is for fictional sources only and NOT kin-for-funs. I'm sorry.

This is run by a single person, so I might not be able to post right away. But do note that I should have your canon calls posted as quickly as possible.

Also, ONE SOURCE ONLY! If you are multiple characters from one source, add them all, you do not need to make a separate call. But please limit to a single source! If it's a crossover canon, please say as such.

PLEASE USE THIS BASE FOR YOUR CANON CALL!!

[archiethepuppyboy]

Alr I don’t know a lot about physical therians and species transitioning, idrk if I am one myself, but there are some things I thought of that I feel might help me feel more connected to my kin’s/ -types that I can either do now or in the future so here’s some of them:

-buy/make faun legs, ears and horns

-learn to play some sort of trad instrument

-make/buy retractable wings for myself that I can were sometimes

-get some paw, moth, kin type and other tattoos

-WOULD get snake bite piercings but they defo wouldn’t look good on me for now anyway, so maybe when I’m older they’d suit me better

-customize/diy some of my clothes with things like paws, ears on hoods and others

-add a giant patch of a pair of wings to my wip patch jacket

-try (atleast part time) working in an outdoorsy place, like an animal sanctuary or as a nature guide or smthn

-decorate my room with kin type related things

-make/buy paw shoes

If I think of any more I’ll add them <3

[twoheartedangel]

Quick survey question:

Alterhumans, otherkin, therians, fictionkin, etc., if you have talked about your identity to a therapist or other mental health professional, how did it go?

I mainly ask for myself since I’m hopefully starting therapy soon and these identities and community have been such a huge part of my life for almost a decade so like, I kinda really wanna talk about it at least somewhat lol.

If you see this after the poll runs out pls just respond in the replies :)

Alterhuman coining: Othermarrowed 🦴

[pt] Alter human coining: Other marrowed [/pt]

🞜 Definition 🞜

[pt] Definition [/pt]

Othermarrowed is a term for those who are in-between being otherhearted and otherkin in some way.

Possible reasons for this include:

Having had a past life as a certain creature/being, but not fully identifying as such in this life.

Rejecting humanity to the point that one feels more like their hearttype than a human.

Experiencing frequent or highly notable phantom limbs or other shifts surrounding one's hearttype.

Becoming so connected with one's hearttype that the lines between identifying with and identifying as feel blurred.

Not fully understanding the difference between otherhearted and otherkin, making one feel unaligned with either label.

And more!

I've seen this idea talked about a few times, but I couldn't find any actual term or coining anywhere. So apologies if this exists already!

Cambikin is a similar term; however, one who is othermarrowed is typically not shifting between being otherkin and otherhearted, but are instead typically stagnant or only somewhat fluid between the two. (Those with a fluid sense of identity may still use othermarrowed, of course!)

I went with a bone theme to kind of play off of the "it's in my bones" and similar sayings. "Marrowtype" would be the othermarrowed equivalent to "kintype / hearttype."

🞜 Symbol & Flag 🞜

[pt] Symbol and flag [/pt]

A rhombus shape was chosen for the symbol as it is somewhat in-between the shape of a heart and a star. The two lines inside represent both otherheartedness and otherkinity, and are also meant to look like bone marrow inside a bone. And the wavy line is meant to look like a bone, as well as represent the spectrum of identities.

ImgBB file

Also made a flag. The stripes don't really have any special meanings, just chose cream cuz bone color and then colors I thought would look nice.
